Thu, 11 May 2017 16:45:13 +0000Texas-Austintnaccountius1075968@/discussionsMy FH and I are getting married at the Hills of Lakeway Country Club April of 2018. We live in Dallas currently so we're having a really hard time finding anyone who knows a great Austin photographer.

Has anyone worked with one that they really love? Or do you have one booked that you're super excited about?

Our budget is ideally less than $2000, but we're willing to go as high as $3000.

Thanks so much y'all!]]>

Thu, 13 Jul 2017 08:11:44 +0000Texas-Austinzjiayi1076580@/discussionsI'm currently looking for a hair and makeup artist/studio who is good with doing "Asian makeup" where the overall look is very natural and light with emphasis on the eyes.

Open to artists outside of Austin, Texas as well, but they should be willing to travel to Austin for our wedding.

(XP) What Would You Pay a Friend to Design Invites?https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1076068/xp-what-would-you-pay-a-friend-to-design-invites
Mon, 22 May 2017 21:29:21 +0000Texas-AustinMrsMik20171076068@/discussionsI have a talented bestie since childhood who's in marketing but trying to get a graphic design side-hustle going. Not doing bridesmaids, but she'd definitely be one. I've approached her about doing paper materials for our wedding and sending me the digital files to print elsewhere. When the topic of payment came up she said, "Just tell me what you are willing to pay me & that'll be fine."

Asked for:

1. Invitations suite (Invite, Reply, Details card)

2. Activity card on one side & Thank you note on the other side

3. Ceremony program

4. A couple of other signs (hashtag, a quote)

She's also amazing at hand-lettering so I've asked her to come down one weekend from Dallas to Austin (probably some same weekend I have a bridal shower) & we'll make the physical signs. I am willing to pay her a flat rate for everything & cover travel and expenses on the crafting weekend. What is the rate you would pay her based on the info I've given (design experience, friendship, scope of work)?

Engagement Photo Locationshttps://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1075267/engagement-photo-locations
Thu, 09 Mar 2017 20:35:44 +0000Texas-AustinKnottie951967751075267@/discussionsMy FH and I are getting our engagement photos done in 2 weeks. I've been trying to lock down a place on where to get the pictures done, but can't figure out the best location. I want us to have more nature like photos while my FH wants to get some photos in front of the Austin Murals downtown.

Does anyone know of any nature areas (preferably with tall grass) near downtown? I've already talked to our photographer about having multiple locations and she is cool with it. I just need to make sure that they are somewhat close together so we aren't wasting time driving around.

Recommendations for shopping for a dress in Austin? X posted to International Attire and Accessorieshttps://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1073578/recommendations-for-shopping-for-a-dress-in-austin-x-posted-to-international-attire-and-accessories
Thu, 27 Oct 2016 16:37:52 +0000Texas-AustinAlaska_RockGirl1073578@/discussionsWondering if anyone has any suggestions for stores to shop at in Austin? I'm not interested in a big white dress, our ceremony will be very informal. I'm looking for knee or floor length, not super formal, and not necessarily white. So even a dress store, not necessarily bridal oriented would work.

I live in Alaska, went to UT for grad school back in 2000-2003. Visiting with my fiancé Nov 3-10 and I am positive Austin has better selection and pricing than Alaska. Thought I'd try to visit 2 stores or so, nothing crazy but enough to figure out what I might want.

We do have a David's Bridal and Nordstroms here, but I'm seeing what all my options are before shopping at home

Thanks!

Chapel Dulcinea & The Veranda Room?https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1072659/chapel-dulcinea-the-veranda-room
Thu, 01 Sep 2016 05:31:26 +0000Texas-Austinprettypixelz1072659@/discussionslike to use their suggested reception venue, The Veranda Room at Tuscan Hall. It's perfect for my purposes, but I don't see the point to paying full price just to use their venue for dinner for only 30 guests. I was wondering if any of you know whether they offer discounts or have special prices for people using Chapel Dulcinea? I know that The Wildflower Barn rents their venue for four hours for only $500 if you're using Chapel Dulcinea for your ceremony...Is The Veranda Room similar?

I don't want to spend money on a tent and am terrified of inclement weather so something inside or outside/inside. I also want to be able to choose my own catering and bring alcohol. I'm open to a Friday/Sunday and even early such as brunch. If anyone know of anything please help!!! Tearing my hair out over here!

I am giving $3000 to catering and want a venue with tables and chairs to be around $3000 as well.

Thu, 23 Apr 2015 03:25:25 +0000Texas-AustinKnottie462986481056692@/discussionsI seem to want the impossible... $130-140 or less per night in the downtown area so guests have things to do within walking distance but don't have to break the bank to stay. Where did you choose for your hotel block, how much are your guests paying and what did it include (ie. breakfast, airport shuttle, etc.)?

This is not really a wedding related question, but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. I am new in Austin and looking for a new hairstylist. I live close to Steiner Ranch, but I don't mind traveling. I am so nervous about trying someone new, but also excited.

Thank you in advance!
